INTRODUCTION The Washington State Legislature passed two major sources of housing legislation to fund the Affordable Housing Program (House Bill 2060) and the Homeless Housing Program (House Bill 2163). Funding for both programs is derived from portions of a surcharge fee on recording documents that are shared between the state and counties.

timely manner and that are ready to move forward.

Form 3Request for High Performing Program Designation

High performing programs must meet all of the following performance standards, at a minimum, to receive this designation. Applicants must also provide HMIS printed reports with this application as documentation of the performance standards listed below:

Good Capacity Usage Households served must be at or above 90% of program capacity.

Lowering Length of Stay Shelters must maintain an average length of stay of 90 days or less. Transitional housing must maintain an average length of stay of two years or less. Rapid Rehousing must maintain an average length of stay of 18 months or less.
